Strain in Rotation: Wonder Woman

The most recent strain in my rotation that I have had the chance to grow several times over the past year is Wonder Woman. This indica dominant hybrid has a fruity/piney taste on the inhale that cannot be ignored. The flavor that this strain brings to the table is the reason why it has been a repeat in the garden this year. Yes, the yields are on the heavier than average side when compared to other strains, but it definitely isn’t the highest I’ve seen even in my own small garden. It likes to grow short and bushy like most indica strains tend to do. If you give it enough time in the vegetative cycle, it can grow some monster branches. The typical 2 months in veg 2 months in flower time frame has yielded as much as 8.5 ozs per plant. This is really impressive considering the premium quality of the buds it is capable of producing in the right growing conditions.

Wonder woman originates from breeding the 1998 cannabis cup winner, Ice, with a strain known as Top 44. Ice is sativa dominant and Top 44 is a pure indica strain. This results in wonder woman initiating more of a heavy body high than an energetic one. It’s an extremely relaxing feeling that also comes with a strong appetite boost. It’s best used for medical conditions like depression, insomnia, anxiety, and PTSD. This is because the mind is put at ease and there isn’t a ton of racing thoughts that many people experience from sativa strains. For those who don’t suffer from any medical conditions, it tends to bring a lot of euphoria and laugher. I know that it will stick around the rotation for years to come because it is extremely popular among consumers for the flavor and growers for the shorter flowering period. Expect it to be ready after 8 complete weeks although I have seen better results from adding an extra week.
